Is it okay to switch ob/gyns at 27 weeks?

I am 27 weeks along and I have finally had it with my ob/gyn. There have been incidences in the past where she has rubbed me the wrong way, but I figured it wasn't anything major enough to constitute finding a new doctor. Now I feel totally uncomfortable with her. She is being very unsupportive and antagonistic with me. However, is it just too late to switch doctors at this point in the game? I am already registered and everything at the hospital--should I just stick with her until the end and then find a new doctor after the baby is here?

It is your right and responsibility to find a doc that you are comfortable with. You will probably need to sign a release of information so that a copy of your chart can be provided to your new doc. At most clinics with multiple docs you rotate docs anyways. I switched in my 2nd trimester to a more organized clinic and am glad that I did.
